Script:
Are wind and solar power the answer to our energy needs? There’s a lot of sun and a lot of wind. They’re free. They’re clean. No CO2 emissions. So, what’s the problem?
Why do solar and wind combined provide less than 2% of the world’s energy?
To answer these questions, we need to understand what makes energy, or anything else for that matter, cheap and plentiful.
For something to be cheap and plentiful, every part of the process to produce it, including every input that goes into it, must be cheap and plentiful.
Yes, the sun is free. Yes, wind is free. But the process of turning sunlight and wind into useable energy on a mass scale is far from free. In fact, compared to the other sources of energy -- fossil fuels, nuclear power, and hydroelectric power, solar and wind power are very expensive.
The basic problem is that sunlight and wind as energy sources are both weak (the more technical term is dilute) and unreliable (the more technical term is intermittent). It takes a lot of resources to collect and concentrate them, and even more resources to make them available on-demand. These are called the diluteness problem and the intermittency problem.
The diluteness problem is that, unlike coal or oil, the sun and the wind don’t deliver concentrated energy -- which means you need a lot of additional materials to produce a unit of energy.
For solar power, such materials can include highly purified silicon, phosphorus, boron, and a dozen other complex compounds like titanium dioxide. All these materials have to be mined, refined and/or manufactured in order to make solar panels. Those industrial processes take a lot of energy.
For wind, needed materials include high-performance compounds for turbine blades and the rare-earth metal neodymium for lightweight, specialty magnets, as well as the steel and concrete necessary to build structures -- thousands of them -- as tall as skyscrapers.
And as big a problem as diluteness is, it’s nothing compared to the intermittency problem. This isn’t exactly a news flash, but the sun doesn’t shine all the time. And the wind doesn’t blow all the time. The only way for solar and wind to be truly useful would be if we could store them so that they would be available when we needed them. You can store oil in a tank. Where do you store solar or wind energy? No such mass-storage system exists. Which is why, in the entire world, there is not one real or proposed independent, freestanding solar or wind power plant. All of them require backup. And guess what the go-to back-up is: fossil fuel.
Here’s what solar and wind electricity look like in Germany, which is the world’s leader in “renewables”. The word erratic leaps to mind. Wind is constantly varying, sometimes disappearing completely. And solar produces little in the winter months when Germany most needs energy.

Faust on why permaculture needs to talk about the true costs of the military complex in order to help americans see why Permaculture is a wise and nessecary path.

Fast-track mobile power has applications beyond the electric utility sector, as APREnergy’s latest project demonstrates. Utilizing three aeroderivative gas turbines running on clean-burning natural gas, APR Energy’s turnkey solution will provide dedicated power generation to support development of one of Egypt’s most strategic industrial complexes.

ResistTrump by building 100-panel solar carports.
Do not trust the Media, Military, Industrial complex, or the myopic Democratic Party or the lopsided Republican Party. See the movie "Vaxxed" to see what both Bernie & PresidentDonald Trump & Ralph Nader. Build 100-panel solar carports on every farm, reservation & suburban lot. Give the solar home owners the lion's share of the income from solar.
Utilities must pay $0.59 kwh for solar.
President Trump has said, "Vaccinations cause autism."
Time to stop all vaccines to kids under age 9, until we can find a safe vaccine.
Alexander D. Langmuir was the head of the CDC. He told Gary Null, “I would never use the Flu vaccine because it still contains mercury,” still does 2017.
Langmuir returned to Johns Hopkins to become associate professor of epidemiology in the school of medicine. In 1949, he became director of the CDC, a position he held for over 20 years, until he publicly said “No one should take the Flu vaccine because it contain dangerous levels of mercury. It sill does in 2017.
He was fired in 1988 from the CDC for speaking the truth. Was a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health from 1988 until his death in 1993. He was an atheist.[1]
There is no cure for autism. It can be prevented by not vaccinating any baby under age 9, as President Trump says.

http://www.euronews.com/ The last seven South Korean workers left the Kaesong industrial complex in North Korea on May 3 -- and with them went the final channel of communication between the two Koreas.
Now silent, Kaesong was a bustling hub, comprising and employing thousands of workers from the North.
Hong Yang-ho, the Chairman of the Kaesong Industrial DistrictManagement Committee, said he hoped it would open again: "I've repeatedly emphasised in the process of negotiations with North Korea, that the Kaesong industrial complex should be normalised as soon as possible -- so that our companies in the complex will minimise the damage and the factories can operate again."
Angered by UN sanctions and joint US-South Korean military drills, North Korea has repeatedly threatened its neighbour with attack.
Just north of the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas, Kaesong's operations have been increasingly blocked by Pyongyang.
The now-defunct project was launched in 2000 in a bid to improve ties between the two Koreas.

Heat and steam generation for industrial processes represent a sizeable opportunity for the CSP industry. In industrial processes, the demand for heat is vastly greater than the demand for electricity (74% vs 26%, respectively, of industrial energy end use). In fact, globally, the demand for heat in industry outstrips the total demand for electricity in all sectors.
This webinar will explore how advances in concentrating solar thermal energy are widening the scope for reducing fuel costs and lowering emissions for industrial processes.

Industrial complex

A factory or collection of buildings relating to industrial production

Military–industrial complex, the term referring to a close and symbiotic relationship between a nation's armed forces, and its private industry.

Prison–industrial complex, the term meaning interest groups that represent organizations that do business in correctional facilities who are believed to be more concerned with making more money than actually rehabilitating criminals or reducing crime rates.

Its most notable feature is the Kaesong industrial park, operated as a collaborative economic development with South Korea (ROK). The park is located ten kilometres (six miles) north of the Korean Demilitarized Zone, an hour's drive from Seoul, with direct road and rail access to South Korea. The park allows South Korean companies to employ cheap labour that is educated, skilled, and fluent in Korean, whilst providing North Korea with an important source of foreign currency.

As of April 2013, 123 South Korean companies were employing approximately 53,000 DPRK workers and 800 ROK staff. Their wages, totalling $90 million each year, had been paid directly to the North Korean government.

At times of tension between North and South Korea, southern access to the Industrial Park has been restricted. On 3 April 2013, during the 2013 Korean crisis, North Korea blocked access to the region to all South Korean citizens. On 8 April 2013, the North Korean government removed all 53,000 North Korean workers from the Kaesong industrial park, which effectively shut down all activities. On 15 August 2013, both countries agreed that the industrial park should be reopened.

It takes a lot of resources to collect and concentrate them, and even more resources to make them available on-demand. These are called the diluteness problem and the intermittency problem.
The diluteness problem is that, unlike coal or oil, the sun and the wind don’t deliver concentrated energy -- which means you need a lot of additional materials to produce a unit of energy.
For solar power, such materials can include highly purified silicon, phosphorus, boron, and a dozen other complex compounds like titanium dioxide. All these materials have to be mined, refined and/or manufactured in order to make solar panels. Those industrial processes take a lot of energy.
For wind, needed materials include high-performance compounds for turbine blades and the rare-earth metal neodymium for lightweight, specialty magnets, as well as the steel and concrete necessary to build structures -- thousands of them -- as tall as skyscrapers.
And as big a problem as diluteness is, it’s nothing compared to the intermittency problem. This isn’t exactly a news flash, but the sun doesn’t shine all the time. And the wind doesn’t blow all the time. The only way for solar and wind to be truly useful would be if we could store them so that they would be available when we needed them. You can store oil in a tank. Where do you store solar or wind energy? No such mass-storage system exists. Which is why, in the entire world, there is not one real or proposed independent, freestanding solar or wind power plant. All of them require backup. And guess what the go-to back-up is: fossil fuel.
Here’s what solar and wind electricity look like in Germany, which is the world’s leader in “renewables”. The word erratic leaps to mind. Wind is constantly varying, sometimes disappearing completely. And solar produces little in the winter months when Germany most needs energy.

Are wind and solar power the answer to our energy needs? There’s a lot of sun and a lot of wind. They’re free. They’re clean. No CO2 emissions. So, what’s the problem?
Why do solar and wind combined provide less than 2% of the world’s energy?
To answer these questions, we need to understand what makes energy, or anything else for that matter, cheap and plentiful.
For something to be cheap and plentiful, every part of the process to produce it, including every input that goes into it, must be cheap and plentiful.
Yes, the sun is free. Yes, wind is free. But the process of turning sunlight and wind into useable energy on a mass scale is far from free. In fact, compared to the other sources of energy -- fossil fuels, nuclear power, and hydroelectric power, solar and wind power are very expensive.

ResistTrump by building 100-panel solar carports.
Do not trust the Media, Military, Industrial complex, or the myopic Democratic Party or the lopsided Republican Party. See the movie "Vaxxed" to see what both Bernie & PresidentDonald Trump & Ralph Nader. Build 100-panel solar carports on every farm, reservation & suburban lot. Give the solar home owners the lion's share of the income from solar.
Utilities must pay $0.59 kwh for solar.
President Trump has said, "Vaccinations cause autism."
Time to stop all vaccines to kids under age 9, until we can find a safe vaccine.
Alexander D. Langmuir was the head of the CDC. He told Gary Null, “I would never use the Flu vaccine because it still contains mercury,” still does 2017.
Langmuir returned to Johns Hopkins to become associate professor of epidemiology in the school of medicine. In 1949, he became director of the CDC, a position he held for over 20 years, until he publicly said “No one should take the Flu vaccine because it contain dangerous levels of mercury. It sill does in 2017.
He was fired in 1988 from the CDC for speaking the truth. Was a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health from 1988 until his death in 1993. He was an atheist.[1]
There is no cure for autism. It can be prevented by not vaccinating any baby under age 9, as President Trump says.
U.S.Mayors: Follow the lead of Lancaster, & SF,Ca.,! Req.all new buildings, up to 9 stories, to be 100% solar. Utilities pay $0.59 kwh.

http://www.euronews.com/ The last seven South Korean workers left the Kaesong industrial complex in North Korea on May 3 -- and with them went the final channel of communication between the two Koreas.
Now silent, Kaesong was a bustling hub, comprising and employing thousands of workers from the North.
Hong Yang-ho, the Chairman of the Kaesong Industrial DistrictManagement Committee, said he hoped it would open again: "I've repeatedly emphasised in the process of negotiations with North Korea, that the Kaesong industrial complex should be normalised as soon as possible -- so that our companies in the complex will minimise the damage and the factories can operate again."
Angered by UN sanctions and joint US-South Korean military drills, North Korea has repeatedly threatened its neighbour with attack.
Just north of the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas, Kaesong's operations have been increasingly blocked by Pyongyang.
The now-defunct project was launched in 2000 in a bid to improve ties between the two Koreas.

Heat and steam generation for industrial processes represent a sizeable opportunity for the CSP industry. In industrial processes, the demand for heat is vastly greater than the demand for electricity (74% vs 26%, respectively, of industrial energy end use). In fact, globally, the demand for heat in industry outstrips the total demand for electricity in all sectors.
This webinar will explore how advances in concentrating solar thermal energy are widening the scope for reducing fuel costs and lowering emissions for industrial processes.

Black Sabbath ~ War Pigs

Album: ParanoidSong: "War Pigs"
~ LYRICS ~
"War Pigs"
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs at the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawl...

Lockheed Martin F-35 is the Pentagon's newest fighter jet. In a single tweet, Trump called to cancel the program. But the F-35 can't be cancelled because its deeply embedded in American politics, military and economy.

New gold coin is solar energy.

ResistTrump by building 100-panel solar carports.
Do not trust the Media, Military, Industrial complex, or the myopic Democratic Party or the lopsided Republican Party. See the movie "Vaxxed" to see what both Bernie & PresidentDonald Trump & Ralph Nader. Build 100-panel solar carports on every farm, reservation & suburban lot. Give the solar home owners the lion's share of the income from solar.
Utilities must pay $0.59 kwh for solar.
President Trump has said, "Vaccinations cause autism."
Time to stop all vaccines to kids under age 9, until we can find a safe vaccine.
Alexander D. Langmuir was the head of the CDC. He told Gary Null, “I would never use the Flu vaccine because it still contains mercury,” still does 2017.
Langmuir returned to Johns Hopkins to become associate professor of epidemiology in the school of medicine. In 1949, he became director of the CDC, a position he held for over 20 years, until he publicly said “No one should take the Flu vaccine because it contain dangerous levels of mercury. It sill does in 2017.
He was fired in 1988 from the CDC for speaking the truth. Was a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health from 1988 until his death in 1993. He was an atheist.[1]
There is no cure for autism. It can be prevented by not vaccinating any baby under age 9, as President Trump says.
U.S.Mayors: Follow the lead of Lancaster, & SF,Ca.,! Req.all new buildings, up to 9 stories, to be 100% solar. Utilities pay $0.59 kwh.

Koreas: Kaesong industrial complex silenced

http://www.euronews.com/ The last seven South Korean workers left the Kaesong industrial complex in North Korea on May 3 -- and with them went the final channel of communication between the two Koreas.
Now silent, Kaesong was a bustling hub, comprising and employing thousands of workers from the North.
Hong Yang-ho, the Chairman of the Kaesong Industrial DistrictManagement Committee, said he hoped it would open again: "I've repeatedly emphasised in the process of negotiations with North Korea, that the Kaesong industrial complex should be normalised as soon as possible -- so that our companies in the complex will minimise the damage and the factories can operate again."
Angered by UN sanctions and joint US-South Korean military drills, North Korea has repeatedly threatened its neighbour with attack.
Just north of the heavily fortified border between the two Koreas, Kaesong's operations have been increasingly blocked by Pyongyang.
The now-defunct project was launched in 2000 in a bid to improve ties between the two Koreas.

Heat and steam generation for industrial processes represent a sizeable opportunity for the CSP industry. In industrial processes, the demand for heat is vastly greater than the demand for electricity (74% vs 26%, respectively, of industrial energy end use). In fact, globally, the demand for heat in industry outstrips the total demand for electricity in all sectors.
This webinar will explore how advances in concentrating solar thermal energy are widening the scope for reducing fuel costs and lowering emissions for industrial processes.

Black Sabbath ~ War Pigs

Album: ParanoidSong: "War Pigs"
~ LYRICS ~
"War Pigs"
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs at the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
oh lord yeah!
